1. Newton’s laws of motion are not applicable in a non-inertial (accelerated) frame of reference.

2. Newton’s laws are only applicable to point objects.

3. Newton’s laws are only applicable to rigid bodies.

4. Results obtained by applying Newton’s laws of motion for objects moving with speeds comparable to that of light do not match with the experimental results and Einstein special theory of relativity has to be used.

5. Newton’s laws of motion fail to explain the behaviour and interaction of objects having atomic or molecular sizes, and quantum mechanics has to be used.
